Trade & FA 2024-25:

Is this about the desire for Ty Jones?

If so, I don't get it. 

No, it's based on the idea that they're even looking at other guards. 

I just can't imagine having Hardy here for another year, headed towards RFA, and NOT playing him. If I'm running that team, I either give the kid from now until the trade deadline to grab a toehold in the rotation, or get whatever value I can for him NOW, affording the acquiring team who (in theory) is excited about giving him a look the chance to negotiate. 

It's not about procedural logistics at all - I'm well aware that his current salary isn't in the way. I'm thinking of his next contract.
